This is really cool, John! 😁 I truly love it! The workers accent of the protagonists is brilliant! So creepy, when he looks at the coin and no one sees the hand twiching! 😱😳💀

This is a solid start to the serial. The Victorian horror elements are vivid and the ending at the pub provides a strong hook for the next installment. Can't wait to read more!

John - The weight in this piece sits just beneath the surface.

Labor. Weather. Hunger.

Then the interruption.

The coin shifts everything, not by force, but by revealing what was already present.

Part 2 is dipping into alternate universe Hellraiser territory. Glad you enjoyed it, as I was legit nervous about this one.

Ooo, that sounds awesome. And, I get that. I’m always nervous when I post to be honest. But you have a great style. Looking forward to reading more!
